Family Intervention Refuge Worker

Residents of the City Refuges are offered support from our Family Intervention Worker, who works with the women, children and young people. She provides a programme of work and activities through both one to one and group support.

The focus of the work will be on meeting the needs of the children and young people around their experience of domestic abuse, supporting the non-abusing parent with any challenging behaviour from the children, supporting the non-abusing parent with parenting skills and meeting the everyday needs of the children.

In partnership with Oadby & Wigston's Housing Department, the Housing Link Worker offers families facing homelessness, as a result of domestic abuse, the opportunity to explore safe options with regards to their housing needs.

The Children's Independent Domestic Violence Advisor, KIDVA, provides a service to children and young people (aged 0 - 16) who are victims of domestic abuse; whether direct or indirect victims, for those who are at highest risk.

Journey Away From Domestic Abuse +
It is a service that offers advice, assistance, emotional and practical support. As well as this, JADA+ offers information for children/young people and the non-abusing parent.
